| 20080251567 | Depth of drive control with load transfer for fastener driver - An adjustable depth of drive apparatus is provided for use on a fastener driving tool including a nosepiece defining a fastener passageway, and a driver blade reciprocating in the passageway for driving fasteners sequentially fed from a magazine into a workpiece. The depth of drive apparatus includes a workpiece contact element being reciprocally movable relative to an end of the nosepiece, the workpiece contact element defining a nosepiece chamber dimensioned for receiving the nosepiece and including a driver blade stop configured for receiving an end of the driver blade to terminate vertical driving motion of the driver blade. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20080276563 | Stud attachment clip - A stud attachment clip for attaching a metal stud to a metal track includes a mounting portion configured for mounting on the metal track and an attaching portion connected to the mounting portion and configured to hold the stud in place. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20080309196 | Electrical Generator - An electrical generator includes a passageway having an input port and at least one output port and at least one resonator for converting acoustic vibrations established in the passageway into mechanical vibrations of the resonator. The resonator is oriented adjacent at least one output port. A mechanical-to-electrical transducer is coupled to the resonator for generating electricity in response to the mechanical vibrations. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090095786 | Fastening tool holding bracket - One example of the invention is a holding bracket for attachment to a fastening tool, the fastening tool having a barrel for firing a fastener, the tool defining a major axis, the holding bracket for holding overlapping portions of two members to be fastened to one another. An example holding bracket comprises a mounting portion configured for attachment to the tool and an extension portion extending from the mounting portion. A holding arm is attached to the extension portion and spaced apart from the mounting portion in the direction of the tool major axis to define a gap between the holding arm and the mounting portion, the gap for holding the overlapping portions of the two members for insertion of a fastener ejected from the barrel. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090095789 | MOVEABLE FASTENING TOOL HOLDING BRACKET - A movable holding bracket is provided for attachment to a fastening tool having a nosepiece for driving a fastener, the holding bracket configured for holding overlapping portions of two members to be fastened to one another, the bracket including a fixed portion configured for attachment to a workpiece contact element of the tool, and a movable portion movably attached to said fixed portion. A holding arm is attached to the movable portion and defines a gap configured for holding the overlapping portions of the two members for insertion of a fastener driven from the tool nosepiece. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20100051666 | ROTARY FASTENER MAGAZINE - A fastener driving tool is provided, including a housing substantially enclosing a power source including a reciprocating piston with a driver blade. A nosepiece is associated with the housing and is configured for receiving the driver blade and for sequentially receiving fasteners for engagement with the driver blade for driving into a workpiece. A magazine is configured for retaining a supply of the fasteners and for sequentially feeding the fasteners to the nosepiece, the magazine storing a plurality of elongate strips of the fasteners, and being configured for rotating about a longitudinal axis of the magazine for providing access of fasteners in each fastener strip to the nosepiece. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100089254 | FOOD SLICER AND ASSOCIATED FOOD PRODUCT PUSHER - A food slicer includes a support member having a base portion and an upstanding portion. A rotatable cutting blade is secured to the upstanding portion for slicing food product. A food product table is mounted for movement past the cutting blade for holding product while being sliced by the cutting blade. An adjustable gage plate enables slice thickness adjustment. A pusher assembly is configured to provided gravity induced movement of the pusher assembly along the slide rod toward the gage plate. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100243672 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PREVENTING LIQUID DISPENSATION FROM AN AEROSOL SPRAY CAN - An aerosol spray can is provided. The aerosol spray can includes but is not limited to a housing forming a storage chamber, an initial amount of chemical stored in a compressed liquid state within the storage chamber, a valve assembly attached to the housing, and an extension tube connected with the valve assembly at a first end and extending into the storage chamber at a second end. The initial amount of chemical forms a top surface. The general direction of the top surface is perpendicular to the direction of gravity. The valve assembly including a stem forming a central passage through which the chemical dispenses from the storage chamber. The second end of the extension tube remains a distance away from the top surface of the initial amount of chemical regardless of the position of the aerosol spray can. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100243761 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PREVENTING LIQUID DISPENSATION FROM AN AEROSOL SPRAY CAN - An aerosol spray can is provided. The aerosol spray can includes but is not limited to a housing, an initial amount of a chemical within the housing in both liquid and gaseous states, a valve assembly attached to the housing, an extension tube connected with the valve assembly, and a flotation device connected with the extension tube. The chemical in a liquid state forms a top surface above which there is the chemical in a gaseous state. The extension tube is connected with the valve assembly at a first end and extends into the housing at a second end. The second end of the extension tube forms an opening. The flotation device floats on the chemical in a liquid state. | 09-30-2010 |
